DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

How we price corporate paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Send us the date, your venue or BN18 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote

Crossbush: your questions answered
Is Crossbush too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Crossbush?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
